Resistance Measurement
WARNING:
Never test resistance
on a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
•))) CAP position.
2. Press the
button until the "M "
MODE
symbol appears on the display.
3. Touch the test probe tips across the circuit
or part under test. It is best to disconnect
one side of the part under test so the rest
of the circuit will not interfere with the
resistance reading.
4. Read the resistance in on the LCD display.
Diode Test
WARNING:
Never test diodes in a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
•))) CAP position.
2. Press the
button until the "
MODE
symbol appears on the display.
3. Touch the test probes to the diode under test.
4. Forward voltage will indicate 0.4V to 0.7V on
the LCD display. Reverse voltage
will indicate "OL". Shorted diodes
will indicate near 0V and an open
diode will indicate "OL" in both
polarities.

Operation cont.
Continuity Test
WARNING:
Never test continuity
on a live circuit.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
•))) CAP position.
2. Press the
button until the "•)))"
MODE
symbol appears on the display.
3. Touch the test lead probes to the device
or wire being tested.
4. A tone will sound if the resistance is
approximately 30 ohms or less.
Capacitance Measurements
WARNING:
Safely discharge capacitors
before taking capacitance measurements.
1. Set the rotary function switch to the
•))) CAP position.
2. Press the
button until the "nF "
MODE
symbol appears on the display.
3. Connect the test leads to the capacitor
to be measured.
4. Read the capacitance on the LCD display.
It may take up to a minute to obtain a
stable reading on large capacitors.
